6/1 |
Aroof
Five-race maiden; hung right and weakened to finish fifth of seven here (1m4f; 4-1 on first start since a gelding operation) last month; eases in the weights over what is potentially a more suitable trip; foolish to discount in a weak contest.

Ignition
Back to his best when fast-finishing third over C&D (first-time blinkers) in February; below par when a beaten 11-10 favourite six days later, but given a break since; entirely possible he can make it ninth-time lucky.

Pomme Pomme
Left her previous efforts behind when making a winning handicap debut at Bath (1m2f, firm; 16-1) last week; carries 6lb extra for her AW return, so it will be interesting to see if she can back that up over this slightly shorter trip; on the shortlist.

6/1 |
Kilteel
Won a 7f nursery at Newcastle last September, and was placed over 6f there the following month; has failed to match those levels in various forms of headgear (now discarded) this year, and has yet to prove her stamina beyond a mile; monitor only.

Scenario
Some improvement when sixth on seasonal reappearance at Chelmsford (6f maiden; 28-1); that proved her effectiveness on AW, but she'll have to raise her game further to make her mark on handicap debut over this new trip.

Pure Imagination
Not too many positives to be gleaned from her first three appearances (6f-7f novice/maidens, peak RPR 41); switches to handicapping in newly applied headgear, with her pedigree at least suggesting that she'll cope with this extra yardage; others preferred.

Benny The Bouncer
Struggled in three runs (7f-1m) for Michael Attwater, and has since changed hands for 1,200gns; cheekpieces seemingly the only reason to hope for better on handicap/stable debut.

7/1 |
Invincible Storm
Marked improvement for gelding operation and wind surgery when runner-up over 7f here (33-1) last month; that form stacks up - winner successful since - but even though he's bred to stay further, he doesn't necessarily look to be crying out for it either; contender.

Mighty Real
Didn't convince in three starts (all 5f) for Jack Jones last year; gelded and tackles a new trip off a 352-day absence on first start for Hughie Morrison; tough to know he'll fare, but this is a suitable level to switch to handicapping.

- Gina Mangan / G Nicholls

|
25/1 |
Nanna Western
Didn't manage to beat too many rivals in three attempts on turf (5f-6f; peak RPR 26) last year; steps up significantly in trip for AW/handicap debut with plenty to prove; far safer to look elsewhere for the solution.
